So Well
Unveiling Love's Deception: Minnie Driver's 'So Well' Insights
Lyrics
I will pass by your house and not look
I will intentionally avoid looking at your house as I pass by.
I won't pick up the phone
I won't answer the phone if you call.
I'll read a book
I will engage in activities like reading a book to distract myself.
I will put your pictures in a wooden box
I will store away the pictures of you in a wooden box, suggesting an attempt to distance from memories.
I will find a heart next time
In the future, I'll seek a relationship with less emotional barriers or complications.
With fewer locks
Expressing a desire for a more open and emotionally accessible connection next time.
I can let you go
Emphasizing the ability to let go of the past.
I can let you go
Reiterating the capability to move on from the relationship.
But I can lie as well
Despite being able to move on, there's also a willingness to deceive or mask true feelings.
Ask your friends how you doing
Suggesting a detachment by inquiring about your well-being through others.
They say you're doing well
Reports from friends indicate that you are doing well without the speaker.
But you can lie as well
Highlighting the possibility that you, too, may be hiding your true emotions.
So well
Emphasizing the proficiency in concealing emotions, possibly a skill developed over time.
I won't feel the rush of you under my skin
Committing to not feeling the intense emotions associated with being close to you.
My poor brain will hear your voice
Despite physical distance, the speaker's mind may still hear your voice.
I'm not tuning in
Declaring a lack of emotional engagement or connection.
Too soon to know the first thing I'll forget
Acknowledging that it's too early to forget the first significant aspect of the relationship.
I can let this go
While capable of moving on, the memories of you are not easily dismissed.
Just not, your memory yet
Specifically, the memory of you is not ready to be let go.
I can let you go
Reiterating the ability to let go, perhaps trying to convince oneself.
I can let you go
Once again stating the capacity to move on from the relationship.
But I can lie as well
Despite the ability to move on, there is an acknowledgment of the capability to deceive or hide true feelings.
Ask myself how you doing
Self-reflecting on how the speaker is doing without you.
You say you're doing well
The speaker affirms that they are doing well without you, possibly masking true feelings.
But you can lie as well
Highlighting the possibility that the speaker, too, may be concealing their true emotions.
So well
Reiterating the proficiency in hiding emotions, suggesting a mutual skill between the two.
